The LOCALIO auxiliary RPC protocol consists of a single "UUID_IS_LOCAL"
RPC method that allows the Linux NFS client to verify the local Linux
NFS server can see the nonce (single-use UUID) the client generated and
made available in nfs_common. The server expects this protocol to use
the same transport as NFS and NFSACL for its RPCs. This protocol
isn't part of an IETF standard, nor does it need to be considering it
is Linux-to-Linux auxiliary RPC protocol that amounts to an
implementation detail.
The UUID_IS_LOCAL method encodes the client generated uuid_t in terms of
the fixed UUID_SIZE (16 bytes). The fixed size opaque encode and decode
XDR methods are used instead of the less efficient variable sized
methods.
The RPC program number for the NFS_LOCALIO_PROGRAM is 400122 (as assigned
by IANA, see https://www.iana.org/assignments/rpc-program-numbers/ ):
